Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Here's hoping no one starts up a "save Jericho" campaign that involves sending weapons-grade plutonium/uranium to the network.

They're sending nuts.

I'm not kidding.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah. Lots and lots of nuts. (Which CBS is distributing to charity and the military.)

When I get bored, I imagine how many different ways Allyson's brain would be going 'splodey if she were a part of their fandom.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

so very, very true. *giggle*

when i heard they were sending nuts, it took me a few minutes to figure out why. i bet some of the execs who never watched the show wondered the same thing...

Do you mean nuts-nuts or some of the nuttier fans?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Which studio makes Jericho? Is it Warner Bros?

I thought that "closure" meant a tv movie or mini-series.

I was guessing they had something cheaper in mind (like a web comic) but I'm often cynical.

They're sending nuts.

That's hilarious in so many ways. They're also doing postcards with demographic info so it's not all crazy.

I thought the "nuts" bit on the show was just a dumb. They couldn't have pulled something useful out of grandpa's military history?

I think it's a CBS Paramount production.

I think they used it because it's an actual story from WWII: 1944, December 29. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe recounting the German demand to surrender Bastogne, Belgium, which was held by the 101st Airborne Division against overwhelming odds, and his reply. "Nuts!" [link]

Yeah, I saw what they were trying to do, but since they had to give us that history lesson they telegraphed the ending. And I just don't think Skeet saying "Nuts!" had quite the dramatic impact they were looking for. I would've liked to have seen something strategically useful to their situation.
